Ever since we got it,I always thought it pretty.My dad brought it home after buying it from a friend and as I saw it pull up under that blue outside lamp,I felt my mouth drop open in excitement.The truck wasn’t for me of course.It was Dad’s going to work.
As I neared the truck,Daddy invited me to go with him around the block for a test drive.What an adventure! As he turned the key in the ignition(点火装置),it started.As Dad took it around the block,I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath to remember the scent and feel of it.I glanced over at Dad to see him behind the whe el with a grin(咧嘴笑)stretching all the way across his face.
Although it didn’t get very good gas mileage(每英里汽油耗量),it was fun for Daddy to drive.He would drive it everywhere.To the school to pick up kids,to the store,to work,or just on a drive,he loved that truck.There was one summer that I particularly remember:it was time to cut down old ,dead trees.My dad and brothers worked hard getting the stump(树桩) free of the branches.Then the hard part began.Daddy wrapped a metal chain around the stump,got in the truck and pulled out the stump with little trouble.However,as he was pulling it out,he ran over my mama’s newly planted tree.We loaded that stump up in the bed of the truck and got it to the yard.I was sitting by Daddy,my older brother was sitting next to me on the bench seats and my younger brother sat in the back seat.
Riding in the truck was always fun whe n I was with Dad,but now that I drive it,I can keep Daddy close everywhere even when I travel.No matter how far away I go,I will always have a little bit of Daddy with me.
